I'm unsure why there's bad reviews, but I wouldn't listen to them. I actually decided on this computer while at Best Buy where I was able to look and touch the computer before purchasing. I've been using Microsoft/HP my ENTIRE life. I was extremely unsure about a chromebook. I went back and forth with myself for weeks. But let me say this, if you're an android lover, this chromebook will come as a second nature. It's based off the Google play store, and some of the features are great! (Like, if you have your phone unlocked nearby, you do not have to input a password to your computer.) Biggest selling points was the screen size. Most of the chromebooks I found are much smaller and this has a HUGE screen with such beautiful quality. The display settings also offer a night light/blue light filter which I absolutely LOVE about it! Battery life is great, fans are quiet, and just all around great computer. Speed is lightning fast, I actually expected less. I have nothing bad to say about this laptop. If you haven't bought it already, I'm not sure what you're waiting for.
I love this Chromebook. The price was great, the screen is nice and large, battery life lasts a long time and it isn't heavy. This works great for school and fits all of my needs. I haven't come across a situation where I needed a PC or different system. I'm very pleased with getting a 2018 model for under $200, especially with the screen size. The speakers are nicer than the last Chromebook model I had as well. I'm very happy with this purchase.
For 90 percent of the populous this will more than meet your demands. Extremely fast startup. More like instant. Picture quality is great. Operational speed very fast. Metal case. Automatically updates. Many apps available for it. No viruses.
If you are tired of windows short comings and you mostly do internet based usage, then this is what you want. Low price to boot! In my opinion its a win win.
Having used HP laptops for years, through various operating systems, I decided to try a Chromebook because I simply can't stand Windows 10. It's slow, ponderous, and takes forever to update. The price of this computer was a definite plus. It's quick and agile, and I'm very comfortable with the Android OS. It took fewer than 5 minutes to set up this computer, from the time I plugged it in until I turned it off. For the big stuff I still have my desktop computer (also Acer), but I can see myself using this laptop gem for a lot more tasks. I feel this was a wise decision and purchase.
I have had the computer for 3 months. It has been running very efficiently. What a great price!

Amazing great inexpensive Chromebook! I purchased this for my in-laws that are not at all techies to replace a dog slow old Dell laptop, and they absolutely love it! I am very impressed with the quality of it and the performance for basic functions such as email, web surfing, YouTube videos etc. Setup was a breeze! ChromeOS found the local USB printer and got it working right away automatically. The build quality is solid for a basic 15.6 inch laptop. The battery life is great (12 hours). The screen quality is perfectly good as well. Nice snappy little laptop!
Previously had a Mac laptop computer and have the iPad and iMac needed a laptop to write while recovering from surgery. Purchased this as a temporary fix. It is really a nice computer and for the price would be great for college students. If you are used to typing fast of the mac you'll find this different. Most actions involve two key steps. For an unknown reason when typing fast I find the cursor moves up and I have to stop and re position it. Could be user error....
Bought this for my 84 year old mother. I bought her one in 2015 she loved it. It got a lot of use by a lot of people. Im sure it just needs a new battery and the bottom battery port. The bottom is because a family member messed with it and cracked it not acer's issue. but, because it is a 2015 there are not a lot of parts for me to fix it and she really missed surfing the web.. which is what chromebooks are great for! The battery life lasted 4 days before she had to recharge. She wasn't on it a lot this week. But the battery is a lot longer lasting than the 2015. it is wonderful for her to do what she does, goes on facebook, pay bills, and clicks on stuff that would give a normal laptop a virus! but, since Chromebooks run everything through a sandbox , they don't get viruses. I have the c720 from 5 years ago and im using it to put up this review. they update regularly and quickly by time you restart it has updated. Everything you used to do on Windows , Chrome has google docs and other programs for that. i do not miss windows one bit. Great machine at a great price! love Acer's Google Chromebooks.
Screen is big.Everything works.
Easy to set up, screen quality is good. This is great for a beginner. Audio sounds clear.
